Activities

During the month of Ramadan 2024, this mosque is used as a tarawih place of worship, especially by worshipers around Bagacay. Apart from being a prayer center for Muslims there, they hope for a resolution to the Gaza–Israel conflict. The congregation of this mosque collects donations, not only for Muslims but also for Christians. These prayers and donations are a priority for Palestinians, especially in Gaza who are most affected by the conflict.[1]
